1 APPLICATION OF RPI MODEL: PREDICTION OF SUBCOOLED BOILING AND DNB IN VERTICAL PIPES Rui Zhang, Wenwen Zhang, Tenglong Cong, Wenxi Tian, G H Su, Suizheng Qiu School of Nuclear Science and Technology, Xi an Jiaotong University, Xi an, China ruizhang@stu.xjtu.edu.cn ABSTRACT In this work, the RPI wall boiling model is used to predict the subcooled boiling for water and Freon and the CHF for water in vertical pipes. The heat flux is divided into four parts in the RPI wall boiling model, i.e., evaporation heat flux, convective heat flux and quench heat flux for liquid phase and the convective heat flux for vapor phase. The wetted fraction of each phase is correlated by an empirical correlation. In the subcooled boiling applications, the calculated wall temperature, fluid temperature and void fraction distribution are compared with the experiment data. In the CHF applications, the predicted CHFs are compared with experimental values. The deviation of the CHF values are less than 15% when compared to experiment data, which is much better than empirical correlations. Besides, the parameter analysis is performed to investigate the effects of L/D, D, inlet subcooling and pressure on CHF. KEYWORDS RPI; CHF; subcooled boiling 1. INTRODUCTION Subcooled boiling denotes the physical phenomenon where the wall temperature is high enough to motivate boiling at the wall even though the bulk average temperature is below the saturation value. More and more attention has been attracted by subcooled boiling for its great improvement on the capacity of heat transfer for pipes compared with single phase forced convection. However, heat transfer ability can not always be enhanced by subcooled boiling with increasing wall heat flux, since heat transfer deterioration may occur when heat flux reach a certain value, named critical heat flux (CHF). CHF refers to the heat transfer limit causing a sudden decrease in the heat transfer coefficient and possible failure of facility in which evaporation or boiling is occurring. In the past decades, CHF was investigated by experiments and empirical or semi-empirical correlations developed based on experiments in general. However, the usage of all these experiments and correlations was limited by application scope, i.e., range of experiment data. Besides, correlations can be used only for a certain geometry since the experiments were executed in corresponding geometry. In this paper, a commercial CFD code Fluent was adapted for predicting the subcooled boiling flow in a single pipe under both high pressure and low pressure. The Eulerian two-phase model exactly considering the inter-phase exchange was used. By comparing with experiment, the simulated local flow characteristics were analyzed and discussed. Moreover, CHF model based on RPI wall boiling model was employed to study the DNB phenomena and to predict CHF in vertical pipes. The calculated CHF data were compared with experiment data of Celata et al [1] to validate the CHF model. The comparison between calculated and experimental CHF data shows that the CHF model has potential to predict the CHF in fuel assembly. 2658
2 2. PHYSICAL MODEL Eulerian multiphase model as well as interphase mass, momentum and energy transfer models is employed to consider the non-equilibrium between two phases. All these interphase interactions are calculated based on the interfacial area density model. Subcooled boiling at wall is modeled by the RPI wall boiling model proposed by Kurual and Podowski[2]. The liquid phase is treated as a continuous phase while vapor phase as dispersed phase. Whereas CHF mechanism is modeled by the improved wall boiling model (i.e., the CHF model). The governing equations and auxiliary equations are given in the following of this part. 2.1 Conservation Equation Conservation equations of Eulerian two-phase model include mass, momentum and energy equations for each phase, i.e., mass equation i i i ivi Si mji mij t (1) momentum equation i ivi iivv i iipi iig t (2) m ji v j mij vi F D, i F L, i F wl, i Ftd, i Fvm, i energy equation p i i ihi i ivh i ii qi Si Qij mjihj mijhi (3) t t where i, i, v i, S i, p i, i, hi and q i denote the volume of fraction, density, velocity, source term, pressure, stress tensor, specific enthalpy and heat flux for i phase, respectively. ji and Q ji are the mass and energy transfer from jth to ith phase, separately. FD, i, F Li,, Fwl, i, Ftd, i and Fvm, i are the drag force, lift force, wall lubrication force, turbulence dispersion force and virtual mass force, respectively. 2.2 Wall Boiling Model According to RPI wall boiling model proposed by Kurul and Podowski[2], the total heat flux from heated wall to the fluid is partitioned into three components, the single-phase convective heat flux q C, the evaporate heat flux q E and the wall quenching heat flux q Q, i.e., qw qc qe qq (4) These three heat fluxes can be expressed as, qc hc TwTl 1 Ab (5) q V N h f (6) E d w g fg 2 kllcp, l f Q w l q T T (7) where h C denotes the single phase turbulent heat transfer coefficient which depends on the velocity profile and is calculated using turbulent wall temperature function; T w and T l are the wall and fluid temperatures, respectively; l and g are the density of liquid and vapor phase, respectively; h fg is the latent heat of evaporation; V d is the volume of the m 2659
3 bubbles based on the bubble departure diameter; c and k p, l l are the specific heat and conductivity of liquid phase, respectively. A b is the proportion of heated wall covered by nucleating bubbles, estimated by 2 Nw d bw Ab min 1, K (8) 4 where d bw is the bubble departure diameter, given by Tolubinsky model[3], T ( sub ) 45.0 dbw min e, (9) and K is an empirical constant estimated by Del Valle and Kenning equation[4] lcp, ltw Tl K 4.8exp (10) 80gh fg N is the active nucleate site density, given by Lemmert and Chawla[5] model w where N 210 T T (11) w w sat T sat is the saturated temperature. f is the frequency of bubble departure, given by Cole correlation [6], where g is the gravitational acceleration. 2.3 CHF Model 1 4 g( l g) f (12) T 3d For CHF model employed in this work, the total heat flux from heated wall to the fluid is divided into two components, heat flux transferred to liquid phase (q f) and heat flux transferred to vapor phase (q g). Among these two components, heat flux to liquid phase is partitioned into three parts, which has the same specification as previous RPI wall boiling model. Thus, the total heat flux can be expressed as q f q q q 1 f q (13) w f c e q f g where f f is the area fraction of heated wall dominated by liquid phase, including the wall area fractions covered by convective liquid phase and by nucleating bubbles; 1 f f is the area fraction of heated wall covered by single phase vapor; f f is estimated by Tentner model [7] 0 g g, 1 1 g g,1 (14) f( g) 1 f( f ) 1cos 1 g g,2 2 g,2 g, g,1 1 g g,2 where the breakpoints have been set to g,1 0.9 and g, The heat flux transferred to vapor phase can be expressed as, q h ( T T ) (15) bw g g w g where h g denotes the single phase turbulent heat transfer coefficient of vapor phase; T g are the temperature of heated wall, liquid and fluid, respectively l Tw and 2660
4 2.4 Interfacial Heat Transfer Interfacial heat transfer includes the heat transfer from liquid to vapor phase at the near wall region and the heat transfer between vapor and liquid phases in the subcooled bulk. Heat transferred to vapor is calculated by vvc p, v q vt ( Tsat Tv ) (16) t where t is the time scale set to a default value of 0.05 according to [8]. When the bubble departs from the heated wall and moves towards the subcooled mainstream, the heat transferred from the vapor to the liquid is calculated as, q lt hsl ( Tsat Tl ) (17) where h is the volumetric heat transfer coefficient calculated by Ranz-Marshall model[9]. sl 2.5 Interfacial Mass Transfer For subcooled boiling, the process of mass transfer consists of these two aspects: liquid evaporation near the wall and liquid evaporation or vapor condensation in bulk flow. The evaporation mass flux in near wall cells can be calculated on the basis of evaporation heat flux, q E m E (18) h C T fg p, l sub Mass transfer rate in subcooled region depends on the difference of temperature between each phase. When the liquid is subcooled, steam condensates; when the liquid is superheated, liquid evaporates. The interfacial mass transfer rate can be written as, qlt qvt m mlt m vt (19) h fg 2.6 Interfacial Momentum Transfer The interfacial momentum transfer between liquid and vapor phases includes the drag force, lift force, wall lubrication force and turbulent dispersion force, which are given in detail. The drag force, which is flow region dependent, is modeled by CDlAif Re FD vg vl (20) 8dg where C D is the drag force coefficient, estimated by Ishii model [10]; l is the viscosity of liquid phase; A if is the interfacial area concentration; Re is the relative Reynolds number based on the average bubble diameter; d g is the average bubble diameter. The lift force, presenting the force act on vapor phase due to velocity gradients in the liquid phase, is calculated by F L CL l g vl vgvl (21) where C is the lift force coefficient given by Moraga model[11]. L The wall lubrication force, used to push the vapor phase away from the walls to bulk flow, is defined as 2 F wl Cwl l g vlz, vgz, nw (22) where C wl is the wall lubrication coefficient given by Antal model[12]; v lz, and v g, z are the velocity component tangential to the wall surface of liquid and vapor phase, respectively; 2661
5 n w is the unit normal pointing away from the wall. The turbulent dispersion force, including the effects of interphase turbulent momentum transfer, play a key role in take the vapor away from the near wall region to the subcooled bulk. It can be calculated by Burns model[13], CD l t, laif Re g l Ftd CTD (23) 8d g l lg g l where CTD 1 and lg 0.9. Interfacial area concentration is a key parameter for predicting mass, momentum and energy transfer through the interface between phases. When using the Eulerian multiphase model, the default interfacial area concentration is an algebraic relationship between a specific bubble diameter and the interfacial area concentration. 6 p(1 p) Ai (24) d p where the volume fraction is for a dispersed phase p. 2.7 Turbulence model After comparing calculated results with experimental data of subcooled boiling and CHF, realizable k-ε turbulence model and enhanced wall function were employed to solve the turbulent parameters. 3. SUBCOOLED BOILING PREDICTION The experiment is conducted in a 2 m long pipe with a uniform wall heat flux with diameter of 15.4mm. The heat flux of the test section is W/m 2 and the inlet boundary is given as mass flow inlet boundary with mass flow rate of 900 kg/(m 2 s) and inlet subcooling of 58.2K, as Figure 1a shows. The RPI boiling model with corresponding closure models as mentioned before is employed in this simulation. The numerical simulation results are in good accordance with measured data, as shown in Figure 1(b) exp calculated axial liquid temperature averaged wall temperature axial averaged void Temp(K) Void z(m) (a) geometry and boundary conditions (b) Comparison of measured (symbols) and calculated(lines) averaged void, liquid temperature and wall temperature Figure 1 calculated profile and experiment test 2662
6 To substantiate the reliability of RPI wall boiling model, numerical simulation of experiments published by Bartolomei (1982) [14] were conducted. The test section is made of Cr18Ni10Ti steel, and is 12mm in diameter. The length of heated tube is from 800 to 1500mm, and uniform heat flux density is given at the tube wall. The range of experiment parameters was: in regard to pressure 3-15MPa, in regard to heat flux MPa, and in regard to mass velocity kg/m 2 s. The experiment results give the true volumetric vapor content over the length. The simulation is performed in a vertical pipe similar to the experiment. The boundary conditions can be explicitly specified from the measurements. The calculated model corresponds to the physical model presented in the previous chapter. Comparisons between the predicted vapor fraction variety that change with thermodynamic quality are in the following section. Figure 2 shows the calculated cross sectional averaged void fraction changed over thermodynamic quality for pressure between 7 and 15MPa. The onset of nucleate boiling (ONB) is accurately predicted, also Close agreement can be obtained from the comparison both for the trend and the trend of void fraction distribution along the whole test section is conformable with measurements. Figure 3 shows the influence of pressure at constant heat flux Q=1.1MW m -2 and mass velocity G=1000kg m -2 s -1. The numerical results show well agreement with measurements, while a better agreement can be observed at a higher mass velocity, as Figure 2 shows. For example, an obvious deviation was found at 15MPa under a lower mass velocity 1000kg m -2 s void fraction Cal Exp P=7MPa P=11MPa P=15MPa X e Figure 2 Q=1.1MW m -2-1,G=2000kg m -2 s void fraction 0.6 Cal Exp p=3mpa p=4.5mpa p=7mpa p=11mpa p=15mpa X e Figure 3 Q=1.1MW m -2-1,G=1000kg m -2 s 2663
7 Mass velocity influence at certain pressure and heat flux is present Figure 4 and Figure 5. A good agreement between calculated results and experiments can be easily figured from both figure, whereas the cross sectional averaged void fraction was significantly under-estimated for the lowest mass velocity. The impact of heat flux at constant pressure and mass velocity is illustrated in Figure 6 and Figure 7. A qualitative trend shows good agreement with measurements, whereas some quantitative errors were also found for these cases. It can be seen from Figure 6, the value is over-estimated at lower heat flux of 0.42 and 0.77MW m -2, and the deviation has the minimum value at high heat flux (1.72 and 2.21 MW m -2 ). In Figure 7, large discrepancy occur in cases with heat flux value of 1.13 and 1.70 MW m -2. void fraction Cal Exp G=500kgm -2 s -1 G=1000kgm -2 s -1 G=1500kgm -2 s -1 G=2000kgm -2 s X e Figure 4 P=11MPa,Q=1.1MW m void fraction Cal Exp G=1000kg m -2 s -1 G=1500kg m -2 s -1 G=2000kg m -2 s X e Figure 5 P=7MPa, Q=0.8MW m

CHF PREDICTION The benchmark data of this work were obtained from CHF experiment in vertical upward-flow pipe published by Celata[1]. In Celata et al s work, stainless steel tubes of 2.5 mm inner diameter and 100 mm length were employed to find the CHF in subcooled flow boiling with extremely high heat flux. To simplify the calculation, a quarter of the test pipe was selected as the calculated domain. The schematic diagrams of geometry and boundary conditions are given in Figure 8. After checking the grid independence by using four sets of grid containing 12,000, 26,400, 39,000 and 57,600 meshes respectively, we employ the grid scheme with 39,000 meshes as the grid independent grid for further calculation.

Wall temperature increased with increasing the heat flux by little temperature step at first, and then it jumped dramatically when DNB occurred. A typical curve of maximum wall temperature with iteration was shown in Figure 9. As can be seen, heat flux of 0.5 MW/m 2 was set at the initial phase of calculation; after convergence (300 iterations for each heat flux step), wall heat flux was increased by 0.5 or 0.1 MW/m 2 till the DNB phenomena were detected. The wall temperature distributions along the axial direction before and after DNB were given in Figure 10. As can be noted, wall temperature ascended gradually when the heat flux was low than CHF; however, when the heat flux reached CHF, wall temperature shot up rapidly at a certain point where DNB occurred.

It can be noted that the maximum value occurs at the near wall region, while the minimun is on the center line of the pipe. It indicates that the flow pattern is the so called bubble flow instead of annular flow. The critical boiling type refers to departure from boiling (DNB) which represents the heat transfer limit causing a sudden increase in the wall temperature since more bubble is generated in the heated wall, rather than Dryout (DO). We calculated 26 sets of Celata et al s experimental data and obtained the corresponding CHF data. The comparison of calculated CHF data with experimental data was given in Figure 12. As shown in this figure, the predicted results agreed quite well with experimental ones with deviations less than 15.0%. The mean absolute relative error of the calculated CHF (estimated 1, by N CHFexp,i CHFcal i ) was 7.1%. N CHF i1 exp,i Figure 11 Three-dimensional distribution of void fraction 2667
11 Figure 12 comparison of calculated CHF with experimental CHF Past studies most focus on experiment, which is limited by the test section and test condition. The achievement of these work often result in CHF correlation which could not be applied to more broad applications. Wright[15] summarized the previous CHF correlations, some are listed in Table 1. A comparison of the empirical correlations listed in Table 1 with calculated results based on CFD method are shown in Figure 13. The results from comparison indicate that all these correlations could not predict perfectly than this study. Figure 14 shows the effects of heated length-to-diameter ratio on CHF for a constant diameter of 2.5mm. A broad range of length-to-diameter ratio is shown, from 20 to 200, the corresponding heated length is in the range of 50 to 500. Figure 14 shows a fairly linear decrease in CHF with increasing length-to-diameter ratio. The more heat is transferred from heated wall to liquid with a large value of length-to-diameter, other things being equal. That could motivate more bubbles generating on the heated wall, and contribute to sharp increase in temperature.

The inlet velocity varies from 20m/s to 50m/s. It can be easily seen that CHF is proportional to the inlet subcooling, other things being equal. 70 CHF/MW m D=2.5mm L/D=40 P=2.5MPa T sub =199.15K V/m s -1 Figure 16 Effect of velocity on CHF Figure 17 shows the variation of CHF on pressure at the existence of the heated length. Extensive numerical simulations of CHF prediction for a constant inlet subcooling are performed over a broad pressure range of 2.5MPa to 15MPa. Actually, the effect of pressure could not be isolated from inlet temperature for a fixed subcooling is given at the inlet. The inlet temperature increases with increasing pressure at a constant inlet subcooling. The CHF 2670
14 increases with increasing pressure at the region from 2.5MPa to 10MPa, while the growth rate decreases with the increase in pressure. When pressure is up to 10MPa, little change can be observed with increasing pressure. 68 CHF/MW m D=2.5mm L/D=40 V m =40m/s T sub =199.15K CONCLUSION Pressure/MPa Figure 17 Effect of outlet pressure on CHF In this study, RPI wall boiling model was utilized to analysis subcooled boiling phenomenon in a single pipe under both high pressure and low pressure. Afterwards CHF model developed from RPI wall boiling model was employed to investigate the DNB phenomena and predict CHF in vertical pipe. The local flow parameters can be obtained. By comparison with the corresponding experiments, the following conclusions can be drawn. 1. RPI wall boiling model can be widely applied for simulating subcooled boiling phenomenon, including the larger range of pressure, mass flow and heat flux. 2. The method proposed in this paper to predict CHF has been compared with experiment data, and is proved to be qualified to predicte CHF. Moreover, the parameter effects on CHF are also analyzed.
